The Story Behind . . .
HPS FORMULAS
% *
, As farming has become more competitive,
and profit margins have dwindled, farmers have
had to aim for ever higher returns from grass
land acreage, just as they have on cultivated
crops This need for greater productivity result
ed in Hoffman HPS Formulas.
Hoffman has, for years, been a leader in
introducing new, heavier producing varieties of
alfalfas, clovers and grasses. These “straight”
items continue to be important staples in the
Hoffman line.
We began to find, however, an increasing
call for combinations of grasses and legumes
to meet specific situations Our attention was
then focused on the scientific formulation of
such combinations The end result was the
Hoffman HPS Formulas for more profitable
yields of Hay/Pasture/Silage.
Each new bit of evidence was carefully
evaluated Out of this broad program of re
search and practical on-farm results came Hoff
man HPS Formulas each designed to do an
outstanding job in meeting a specific nged.
